A POPULAR cartoon pig, TV talent show finalists and a Central American explorer will headline this year’s Fun4Kids Festival.

The music and entertainment program for the 2014 festival was released yesterday, with X Factor 2013 runner-up Taylor Henderson and finalist Jai Waetford and dance troop Justice Crew taking top billing.

Other performers include Justine Clarke, former yellow Wiggle Sam Moran as well as character show favourites Peppa Pig, Lalaloopsy, Dora The Explorer and Go, Diego, Go performing brand new stage shows.

Opera Australia’s Cinderella, Erth, a lifelike dinosaur puppetry show, and a host of Australia’s best magicians, acrobats, dancers and entertainers round out the festival’s theatre program. Festival director Luke Cann said it was the most exciting program they’ve seen at Fun4Kids.

“Our team has made some really smart choices ... Whether (your) child is a teenager or a toddler, they’re definitely going to have fun.”

“Having show’s like Opera Australia’s Cinderella at the festival is a massive coup for the city.”
